The Terry Center: Beginnings
When completed in late 2010, the Randall B. Terry, Jr. Companion Animal Veterinary Medical Center is expected to be the national model for excellence in companion animal medicine. The Terry Center will offer cutting-edge technologies for imaging, cardiac care, cancer treatments, internal medicine, and surgery; will more than double the size of the current companion animal hospital; and will help accommodate the more than 20,000 cases referred to the CVM each year.

Visiting and parking during construction
Please note: The College of Veterinary Medicine (CVM) is a secure access facility. All guests must make an appointment and have a CVM sponsor to escort them through the buildings. We are unable to accommodate "walk-in" guests. This policy applies to the following but is not limited to: vendors, merchants, service technicians, prospective applicants, former faculty, staff, students and the general public.
The two-year Terry Center project is reshaping the Centennial Biomedical Campus and visitors should be aware that construction activities may affect vehicle traffic at times.
Veterinary Teaching Hospital clients can still park immediately in front of the small animal or large animal hospital as shown in purple on the map below.
All other visitors (non-hospital clients) should park in one of the marked visitor spaces (darker green on the map below) in the C permit parking lot across from the hospital. Visitors must then obtain a temporary daily permit from the College receptionist inside the main CVM/IAMS entrance. Repeat visitors to the CVM will be asked to obtain daily permits directly from University Transportation. Cars with C or CC permits which park in these designated visitor spots will be ticketed. Please note that the new parking deck is for C or CC permit holders only.
The new 500-space parking deck next to the CVM Research Building (shown conceptually below) officially opened in early December 2009. Please note that the new parking deck is for C or CC permit holders only.
Your patience during this construction project is appreciated and understand we will make every effort to minimize the impact and inconvenience to our community.
